Exercise Pounds Away

I need to lose 30 lbs anybody want to join me?

Navy_Wife08:
I've recently lost around 40 lbs and have about 30 more to go. I want someone who I can talk to and who wants to go through this with me. Maybe exchange tips on exercising and weight loss tips ie: eating habits coping with cravings all that kind of stuff. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband is about to come home from being deployed so I don't want to fall back when he gets back, I've worked so hard in the past 6 months. Hope to hear from you guys soon :)

Hi! I just joined this site, and was excited to see I am not alone in my quest to lose weight! :) I am overwieght pretty much for the 1st time in my life (and finally admitting it.) I would love to have someone encourage me to be healthier and I also would encourage you! we can do this!! ;)

I also just joined about a day ago, haha. I had a baby 7 months ago and I've gained weight throughout marriage and I'm just soo ready for it to be gone! I've done well so far but need to keep motivated! I totally agree we can! How much are you looking to lose?

welcome to the party. would love to help all of you stay on track if you will return the favor. i have to be at work at 4 am so working out for me in the morning is out of the question. i want every last bit of sleep i can get. LOL i think about working out all day when i get home and i do, just not the really hard stuff. i'm tired of my excuses and would love to have someone call me on them. so if anyone is interested let me know.

i have 3 kids, 1 husband, 1 dog and 27 more lbs to go on my weight loss journey.

Well, keep up the good work. I have more to lose than you. I want to lose 45 lbs. I'm currently 190 and developed one of those disgusting belly flaps at my bikini line, (not that I would ever wear a bikini again). When I reached this weight before, I never had that. Well as I get older, ugly things develop I never thought I'd see. LOL, or more like it COL (cry out loud). When I read your post, I was reminded that I need to quit looking at the big picture, of how much I need to lose overall, because it seems overwhelming. But I need to set a monthly goal like you did and work towards that. If I lose 10 lbs. a month I'll have this over with in 4 months. Okay 5-6 months if I want to be realistic, because the final 10 - 15 are usually harder to lose than the first. I am working out at a gym kinda mixing it up with 5 minutes arobic movement (either eliptical or using a step or stationary bike) and weight machines in 5 minutes intervals in between. Also stationary weights. I try to do this 3 times a week for 50 - 60 minutes. Then my goal is to walk in between those days. I live in the foothills so the roads are more challenging. I'll try to do a longer walk on Saturdays, like 3-4 hours on a local trail. Well keep up the good work.

It didn't even show up on my email that I had anyone reply to it! Yea my short term goal was accomplished today 40 lbs in 6 months i'm now 155 :) i'd like to lose 20-30 more definitely, it feels so good to look in the mirror and feel better about myself, although i have this flab at the bottom that will never go away it's almost like a butt b/c it has an indent :( i never plan to be in a bikini again either but a nice fitting tankini! My goal is the next 20 lbs by june-july and then i'd like to maintain that weight and never ever go back to where i was before! my biggest was 213 at 9 months pregnant with my son and then i started the gym at 195 so i'm very proud of myself! I know sometimes i'm like ugh, i don't even feel like going and i'm not a morning person so i can't go then either lol but i just tell myself i can do it and in the end i'll feel good and then i do.. i do an hour of cardio and just listen to music and that helps a lot, couldn't do it without music! Keep up the good work just do short term goals for sure that really does help, like 1-2 lbs a week i weigh myself every friday!

i really do enjoy reading everyones posts. that was i feel that i'm not alone.

PatsyJoy2010 were are the foothills? not very good a geoography. i live in akron ohio. it is going to be in the high 30's and into the 40's this next week for the first time in months. i'm going to take the dog for some longgggg walks. haven't been able to do that in for ever, not that i really wanted to before starting this journey. will have to be really careful though until we get some serious melting because everything is nothing but ice under the snow. if i hurt myself i think that would really set me back totaly.

everyone keep up the good work and i talk to you on mon for my weigh in and measurements.

Hi. I'm Megan and I watch my calories and move as much as I can. What I mean by that is when I'm at my fitness class I jog in place or do jumping jacks during short breaks, I walk my dog an extra 10 min, use the stares, clean more and, well, have sex more! Find things you are already doing and make them just a little more challenging. You can do it!

hello everyone I just join this site after setting a wt loss goal myself. I got the scale and it said 266! I was like,"Whoa almost 270 lbs!" I gotta do something. So I started changing my eating habits, I let go of the seconds, bad snacks and increased my water intake. It's been almost a month now 27 days to be exact and I'm 9lbs down. So I'd like to encourage you all to keep up the good work and you do the same for me and I'll keep you all posted. I wish you all much weight loss success.
